Some interesting Air quality results. What now?

We got a PDF from the embassy of the air quality results from the Laleena guest house on Phi Phi island. Take note at the results from room 6...

So does anyone in Thailand think this is nuts? Or should people just expect to have toxic gas in their rooms? Room 6 wasn't the room Jill or Julie stayed in, but being this test was done on June 13th (over a month later) and toxic gases were found in the guest house on some random day, shouldn't someone look into this?

We're waiting to hear back.

Contact the Embassy...

The lack of answers to the death of Jill and Julie is frustrating and disturbing at the same time. Please contact the embassy and let them know people are still following this tragedy. We would like some sort of action/answer/proof that something is being done to find out what happened.

Email the US Embassy in Thailand at acsbkk@state.gov Let them know we are tired of not getting results!

The contact there is Charles Carson. In the subject line put "Attn: Charles Carson in regards to the death of Jill St. Onge"

Another death, and an update.

In light of this new article of a Kuwaiti girl that died mysteriously after visiting Phi Phi Island I thought I should update this blog.

First-check out this link to the article of the latest death associated to Phi Phi Island

Our heart goes out to the family. There truly is nothing worse. There are no words that will ease there pain.

Second-The Thailand autopsy report is a joke. It was about three pages long and most of it was margin space and emblems. I believe here in the states an autopsy report starts at around 20 pages, and for something like what happened to Jill would be much longer.

It did verify that there were NO drugs or alcohol in her system, so those bogus rogue Thailand reports from "Government officials" can be put to rest. The only bit of information we got out of it was a low level of the enzyme Acetylcholinesterase. Please take a look at this Wiki page about what could cause this enzyme to be lowered.

We are still waiting for some more reports to be translated from Thailand, and we have been in contact with Julie's family (the young lady that also died in the same guest house).

I'll post again when there is something else.

Ongoing...

This was published today. We are glad they are still looking into it...

Also we DID get the tissue samples this week and they are now in the proper hands. I won't go into much detail as everything is still extremely preliminary, but the very very early results do seem to coincide with something affecting the lungs. Read Ryan's account.

What is going on in Thailand?

Another German tourist, Ernst Hermannweid, died very much the same way as Jill and Juile while staying in Patong!
